WordPress v3 works well and has attempted to think through everything. When it comes to images though a bit more is needed. WordPress automatically creates duplicate images at different sizes whenever you upload an image for a blog post. The idea behind this is great, it saves you the trouble of manually creating multiple sizes for [...]

Black-Hat Ops

By Jon Roemer On 13 Feb ’11 · Leave a Comment

Just over a year ago I published a post called, A Conspiracy of Blog Comments. I had had my WordPress blog only a month or two but I could already detect a trend – odd comments leading to similarly designed shell web sites which pointed to under-the-radar products at Amazon.

Statues Made of Matchsticks

By Jon Roemer On 28 Jun ’10 · Leave a Comment

I received my iPhone 4 last Wednesday, one of the group to get them a day early from Apple.

Initial thoughts:

Overall, it is speedy but no hugely speedy over the iPhone 3Gs. I’d rate it at about 25% faster and that seems to be confirmed by a recent Ars Technica review. The [...]
